Flooding and landslides have left millions of people homeless in Northeast India. While faced with this new disaster, relief groups, including UMCOR, continue to respond to the millions who suffered from the cyclone that struck India last year. UMCOR is working with our ecumenical partners in India to provide relief from these disasters. Your gifts to International Disaster Response, Advance #982450-8 are urgently needed. Please designate "India Floods."
UMCOR is supporting the efforts of the United Methodist Church in the Democratic Republic of Congo to provide humanitarian assistance for refugees and displaced persons. The church is running refugee camps and feeding centers and doing HIV/AIDS education. Hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced by the ongoing war in the Congo and surrounding countries. Please continue your support of UMCOR's Democratic Republic of Congo Emergency, Advance #198400-4.
UMCOR is responding to famine in two parts of the world: the Horn of Africa and North Korea. Relief work includes providing food relief, agricultural support, shelter, medicine and clean water. To support relief efforts give to UMCOR Advance #101250-4, "Africa Famine Relief" or Advance #226435-0, "North Korea Emergency."
Gifts may be made through local United Methodist churches, or by calling 1-800-554-8583. Credit card donations are accepted. (Read more about how you can help UMCOR's emergency responses.)
Please pray for all who suffer from natural and human-made disasters, hunger, and poverty.
